Congratulations! You’ve survived the first heatwave of summer and are ready to take on the next—with a gallon of sunblock and a cooler full of cold drinks at the ready, no doubt. It’s time to build on that confidence and add a little flair to your summer style. To help, we rounded up a handful of summertime accessories sure to have you feeling *and* looking cool this summer.
The Sunglasses
Zeal Optics ACE Sunglasses, $169
Believe it or not these handsome shades are literally made of US-grown cotton and wood pulp that’s been smashed together to create a biodegradable, acetate-like material. Even the polarized lenses are made of plant-based materials. Pretty cool, huh?
The Hat
Nautical J-Class Logo Cap, $25
The “dad hat” is a trend that won’t quit, and we’re not mad about it. This adjustable cap from Nautical hits all the key marks while remaining as classic as can be. And with the option to monogram, you’ll stand out among a sea of minimal cap-wearing crowds this summer.
The Watch
The Duffel
Nautical Double J-Class Duffel, $67
A sleek, spacious duffel that’s the perfect size for weekends away and trips to the gym. Plus the lightweight, water-resistant fabric ensures it’ll go wherever you need it to, and look great in the process too.
The Slide
Adidas Adilette Slides, $45
A classic sandal as iconic as it is minimal. Since 1972 the Adilette has been a staple in locker rooms and sports facilities around the world. And now, they’re cool enough to wear out on the town too.
The Belt
Nautical Signature Sailing Flags Belt, $35
Few pieces of a man’s wardrobe can exude so much style with such little real estate as the belt. With embroidered sailing flags and a rich leather foundation, this casual belt says a lot—and it’s all good.
The Daypack
Patagonia Arbor Daypack 20L, $89
A timeless daypack with a padded laptop sleeve and front accessory pocket—perfect for the daily commute, afternoon hikes, trips to the beach, and running errands around town. Plus it’s made of hardwearing fabric that’s both 100% recycled and water-repellent.
